Palin fires back at Schwarzenegger

CNN ^ | December 16th, 2009 | Alexander Mooney

"Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment?" Palin wrote on her Facebook page. "Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation's only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change."

I disagree, AGW is a scientific theory, (without merit I might add).

[LachlanMinnesota]

Hey, Dansong, How’s Mitt doing these days? Think his new book will be a hit like his health insurance plans?

[Mamzelle]

Ahnold, you’ve been spending too much time among the inbred anorexic runts of the Kennedys. Check out what a real woman looks like.

Palin's comments on GW are welcome but she does seem to give credence to the mantra that it exists and something must be done to stop it. If she supports this then we have to assume she belives it exists and is dangerous. Here is her Wiki bio on the subject and see the bolded statements. It seems her position between '07 and '09 has changed. I'm not sure if that was a political flip flop to position herself better for a campaign run in '12.

Global warming.

After saying that global warming would affect Alaska more than any other state, Palin added: "I'm not one...who would attribute it to being man-made."[89] But she has not completely ruled it out: "Show me where I have ever said that there's absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change. I have not said that."[90][91]

On September 14, 2007, Sarah Palin signed an administrative order creating a Climate Change Sub-Cabinet charged with preparing a climate change strategy for Alaska.[92] Palin has ignored requests to establish an Alaska Office on Climate Change, an Alaska Climate Response Fund, and emissions reduction targets.[93]

As governor of Alaska in September 2007, Palin described warming as a "global challenge" and sought "opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Alaska sources, including the expanded use of alternative fuels, energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, land use management, and transportation planning."[94] In December 2009 she wrote, "any potential benefits of proposed emissions reduction policies are far outweighed by their economic costs."[95]

LOL! What would a Palin thread be without Bob J's input.

Wikipedia? Really? That's your source?

LOL!

Have a great day...

The microclimate effect of cities, ie. Paved Roads and building albedo changes the climate far more than a few extra CO2 particles in the air.

So as long as we don’t cover the whole world with cities we should be okay.

But most libs live in cities and they have no idea the climate outside the city just 20 minutes away is far colder in the winter. No wonder they believe in gore-bull warming.

[Kickass Conservative]

I believe in Climate Change.

In fact, I believe the Climate Changes four times a year.

To: rabscuttle385 Nahhh, Schwarzenegger is just dumb ...
BR> Steroids can do that to the brain

“While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can’t primarily blame man’s activities for those changes,” she wrote. “And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn’t do was hamstring Alaska’s job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act ‘greener than thou’ when talking to reporters.”

Greener than thou ! I LOVE her ! It is a religion, after all.

"The issue is plain: she believes in the Hoax; sorry"

You are wrong. Please read her statements in context next time and you won't look so foolish.

[rockinqsranch]

Did you wake up on the wrong side of something this morning AH, or is the problem that YOU cannot read.

YOU go back and read the exact quote I copied and pasted from the commentary as reference to my question.

I simply asked the poster what they meant.

[rockinqsranch]

Agree with your assessment. Thank you.

[sport]

As far as that goes, it changes every day. But not this so called man made global warming .

In Florida it changes every hour.

Why doesn’t Arnold switch parties, he is giving republican’s a bad name.

Following is the link that GonzoII provided to the article. You will find the last three paragraphs, beyond the excerpt at that link, which I believe any sensible person will consider, and know that Mrs. Palin DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE HOAX:

“http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/12/16/palin-fires-back-at-schwarzenegger/

All too often, as MIGHT be the case this time, and I too am guilty of it, we tend to read only the excerpt, and then comment. NOT a good idea, but that’s the way it is around FR.

If you get the chance please click on link and read those paragraphs mentioned. Thank you.

“I simply asked the poster what they meant”

You are right.

[rockinqsranch]

If you care for some truth, and have the time kindly see my post #96, and read at the link. Thank you.

[rockinqsranch]

Thanks for your reply. I had just finished sending you a follow-up posting on the thread, and now see this reply from you.

Hoping seriously that you do have a good day. I’ve never read such an attitude posted on any thread to anybody from you before, and as this I believe was your first commentary to myself in all the time I’ve been reading at FR, I was a bit taken aback.

[SmokingJoe]

You are welcome.
My original post to you was meant for “Dansong”, who originally made that comment you quoted in your post.
Somehow, it ended up directed to you.
You were in in effect saying the same thing I was saying.
Apologies.
